RES operator given control of new Energy Transition Fund

DAPEEP, the RES market operator, whose influence in the energy market is growing, will be given control of the new Energy Transition Fund, a move promising to give the operator a key role in efforts to counter energy cost increases when prices are at exorbitant levels, as is the case at present.

A large percentage of the ETF’s revenues will come from CO2 emission right auctions, staged by DAPEEP.

Through its authority over the new ETF, DAPEEP will be in a position to manage state funds, including, for example, planned subsidies for natural gas bills, expected to be derived from the state budget, at least for the final quarter of 2021, sources informed.

In due course, DAPEEP, through the ETF, will also manage funds to be generated by other prospective green surcharges, including an expected expansion of the carbon emission rights system into transportation and buildings.

These new roles promise to further establish the place of DAPEEP in the domestic energy market.
